*First post to the DSL forums, please tell me if I need to correct something*
Incase you have came to solution to install DSL to this old Dell laptop, you might get into problems with the sound card. I have searched this forum from top to bottom but I couldn't find any answers on this issue when it jumped at me. But thankfully, after some tinkering me, never-before-used-Linux guy, was able to get sound blasting from the box. Here is what you need to do:
Get to the shell (command line) and then run these commands:
# sudo su # modprobe cs4232 index=0 id=CARD_0 port=0x530 cport=0x210 mpu_port=0x330 fm_port=0x388 irq=5 mpu_irq=9 dma1=0 dma2=1 isapnp=0
That's worked on my laptop.
PS: Could someone more experienced person say what is unneeded in the 'modprobe' command above? Thanks.
